Broadmann classification

Korbinian Brodmann used numbers from 1 to 52 to refer to specific area of the cortex. They are popularly called Brodmann area. The table given below summarizes these areas.

Areas 1, 2 and 3

Primary somatosensory cortex

Area 4

Primary motor cortex

Area 5

Somatosensory association cortex

Area 6

Pre-motor and secondary motor cortex

Area 7

Somatosensory association cortex

Area 8

Frontal eye fields

Area 9

Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

Area 10

Frontopolar area

Area 11

Orbitofrontal area

Area 12

Orbitofrontal area

Areas 13 and 14*

Insular cortex

Area 15*

Anterior temporal lobe

Area 17

Primary visual cortex (V1)

Area 18

Visual association cortex (V2)

Area 19
